We headed out in the morning to visit the Louvre , probably the most famous museum in the world and home of the Mona Lisa. We visited a third church, Saint-Eustache, a church we saw on our first day in Paris.
We ended our day with dinner in a restaurant next to the church. We left a bit early before our timed entry to the L o uvre as we wanted to visit the nearby Jardin du Palais Royal. The royal palace was the home of French royalty before the palace at Versailles was built. Water runs under the tiles that are covered by metal grating.
The columns here are of a fixed height. There are actually two identical installations in this same courtyard. This one is on the west side while the other is to the east. Unfortunately, the circular pond in the middle of the garden, just beyond the spheres, was being renovated! This park is where Emily first meets Mindy on a park bench. This is also the park for a scene with Gabriel and some kids. On our way back, we noticed that water was coming out of the spheres and that they move!
We exited via the east side of the courtyard. This area underneath the building above has quite a few columns. This is the building that houses the offices for Savoir, the marketing agency in Emily in Paris that Emily works at in Paris. It looks exactly as it does on the show.
The royal palace is just a tiny block away from the northern edge of the Louvre. One thing that we missed on our way in is on the left side of this photo. It is a mirrored cube! When viewed from the correct angle, it almost seems to not be there.
